Stats Can releases report on children with disabilities and participation

Statistics Canada has released a study looking at which factors influence the social engagement of children with disabilities aged 5-14. 

The report – titled Social Participation of Children with Disabilities – draws on the child component of the 2006 Participation and Activity Limitation survey and examines the habits of 3,100 children who lived with their parents at the time of the research.

The ultimate goal was to determine how active children are and how society can adapt to help activities become realistic for more children.
